im a loser

so its been hard as heck trying to get all the information about this craft fair. i can't even get a call or email back from the orginazer. and my friend some how can, and never gets all of the info or just isn't telling me. this whole thing is a little frustating . she told me that i might need a tent in case it rains, so i guess that it's going to be out in a parking lot. let hope it's not bad out that day. its also the day of toby and I's anniversary so yea.

i've been crafting up a storm for this things look
i made record bowls , picture frame earring holders, and price cards.
the record bowls are made like this .
the picure frame are made with an old lace curtain. its cut to be just a little bigger then the back piece of the frame. then you can glue it on i just shoved the back on and let a little hang over. it's not pro looking put it gets the job done.
the price cards took the longest. its made with consturtion paper, glue decrotive cutters if you got em. the paper is 12*9 so you can get 3*3 squares yay. glue two colors together. add a little edge to the front piece if you like. I got a stamper from vista printing, so i put my That1girl on the back of all the cards. and the price on the front in the area where your name is. you can sew beads/ buttons to it. if you have post earrings you can just poke them though and put on the backer. or use a hole punch in the corner and string it to things.

i won a few ribbons at the county fair. unsure what to do with them now

i haven't posted in a little bit

this is what i've finished latly

one WIP

one hat

second WIP

a couple of the grannys for the month

third WIP

i finished some one elses WIP's. the person passed away, and the daughter in law wanted to see how some of the items would look once they were finished. so she gave me all of the persons yarn and other craft suplies.

these two just needed a little work . the hoodie only needed buttons, the jacket only needed a collar and buttons. i made a little blanket to go with the jacket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i've been trying to sell a few of my crafted items on ebay. but so far nobodies bidding on them. :(

i was supposed to be saving the money in my paypal account for a gift for toby. but then i saw things on ebay that i wanted. barbie shoes and stands. i need them for the county fair.

oh im working on my last items for the fair i have until the 24th to finish. i finished all my WIP's so that i can work on that and my granny's for the month. i will work on the fingerless gloves for busy bees after i finish.

quickly get to know me

I'm Dominique

I grow up in Toledo,Ohio. An moved to Ypsilanti ,Michigan when i was around 19. my mother had me when she was 14 so i was mostly raised by my grandma. I have one sister by my mother (Kayla), and my father is somewhat of rolling stone so i have 4 brothers and sisters that he claims. I'm only close to my Kayla.

I have been into art/crafts since i was very young. I even went to college for a little while to be an art teacher. but i realized i wasn't great at anything but art. i wasn't a great leader, and was bad at every other subject. so i dropped out. i was going to go back to be a social worker, but i never had the money to live and go to school.

I'm queer/ pansexual. I've known since i was 5. my boyfriend is FtM he came out to me three months into our relationship. we have been dating since 2004, after a friends birthday party got canceled . and we spent the night talking, i asked him out. we now live in Ypsilanti with our cat . we had a dog named Rosco, but he died. we had him for four years and he was always sick a few times a year

I was really into painting and drawing a few years ago. Then i was really into scrap booking. Then i was really into knitting. Now I'm really into crocheting. i also make jewelry, and things out of polymer clay. I've been trying to learn to sew but that's not clicking like everything before it. and I'm going to try to learn to embroidery.

When we moved to our trailer it had three bedrooms. It was one of the cheapest places we could get with the dog. an i got to keep one of the rooms to craft in. will crochet is a portable craft so i don't stay in that room unless I'm sewing. and yet it always get messed up. I get a lot of yarn donated to me, people find it and give it to me. so i have three large totes full of yarn. I make alot of charity items with it. but i just can't use it fast enough.

I like to make non use full items, cute things that just you just set up on a shelf. not like doilies,no. like clay foods, barbie dresses, game pieces glued to a pillow case. I like to change subject, my mind, and crafts often. i get bored with things if it doesn't happen fast enough. I don't really like kids, and I'm non-religious, but i like Christmas the fun parts.

I'm a very shy person, i don't talk much i mostly use my blog to talk for me. so when people meet me in real life they are very shock about this. I have two jobs, but still somehow craft more then other people. I think about my hair more then other people, i used to be obsessed with it

39 of 50 and the couples

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'm such a lady

It got hot out of no where this year. Sadly Toby hasn't really wanted to go out to parks as much this year. We used to go play tennis, croquet, and act like we could play baseball. our bikes are all rusted up so we can't ride.

I feel really bad for Toby. his dog died last month. so we have been spending money on vet stuff for the weeks. and we have been behind on bills. so he has not been able to afford his T or Prozac . its been two months. and now he has to go back to the doctor just to get another script. yesterday someone called him a lady .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been getting really into barbie dresses. i even got three new barbie in the past couple weeks (birthday gifts). just so i have someone to dress. I don't really know what I'm going to do with the Ken. I'm in the CAL i guess one couple can be hetero .

some things i've made

palm sized sandwich

spring time young bride

ugly bridesmaids dress. that bow could be bigger
